NON-HUMAN AQUARIUM

In the Anthropocene era, where we critique human-centric practices and emphasize the intricate relationships between human and non-human actors shaping our planet’s geology, “(NON)HUMAN AQUARIUM” aims to portray hope for survival and flourishing amid ecological and environmental challenges. The project uses an imaginary organism, symbolizing an assimilation of human and non-human life forms, as a lens to explore this new geological epoch.

By dissolving traditional distinctions between these entities, it envisions possibilities emerging from places of resistance. Through this synthesis, “(NON)HUMAN AQUARIUM” offers a narrative of struggles and  interconnectedness, inviting us to reconsider our place in the world within the broader and ever-evolving ecological framework.

The programme ‘Beyond the Screens’ is co-curated by Public Art Lab , Public Art Department of the China Academy of Art, the Connecting Cities Network and Nanyang Technological University Singapore. The video art works were presented on large scale digital infrastructures in Europe, Singapore and China.
